Silvery Bali

High School Band
If you are a scuba diver or a jeweler, Bali means a chance to do something exciting. This tropical paradise has undergone a huge growth spurt since Julia Roberts made it better known in the movie ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. Bali was and wasn’t what I expected. Yes, it was tropical and the people were wonderful; the food was fantastic and the flora was gorgeous. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, big business has arrived in this garden spot.

Just Bead It!

Glass Sculpture
One of my passions is glass beads and what better place to visit than the home of those little jewels in Czech Republic. Of course, some of the Near-Normal Travelers will say without equivocation that the best place for glass is the Moser glassworks in Karlovy Vary. And if your interest lies in that sort of art, you’ll agree. Glass making, particularly at this quality level, is no easy job.
